local culture

Half a mile off the Interstate,
a Czech bakery is still
the place for local
conversation

about noninvasive
cancer treatment in central
Texas. But the excitement
at the new Czech Inn on I-35 is

all about the promise
of McDonald's. Kolache
with poppy seed, the favorite, they
tell me, of the old folk, tastes faintly

like a memory of Prague.
